South Korea has stopped calling North Korea an "enemy" in its biennial defense document in an apparent effort to continue reconciliation with Pyongyang.

The development comes as US and North Korean leaders are looking to set up their second summit to defuse an international standoff over the North's nuclear program.

South Korea's defense white paper published Tuesday doesn't include its typical term labelling North Korea its "enemy, "present enemy" or "main enemy."
